40. Let’s Play Tombola!
Level: Beginner
Today we are going to learn how to play tombola. But what is tombola exactly? Tombola is the same as the bingo game and it’s very popular in Italy among people of all ages. Tombola’s popularity increases during villages’ fairs in the summertime when it becomes an excuse for Italians to get out of the house and socialize. Enjoy this very relaxing lesson and feel the summer. Tombola!
